Default New Amazing Tires

So I previously had the Continental Contisport Contact 3's on my A4, but I needed new tires so I went to get some new ones. Well I settled with the Falken FK 452's, and man are they amazing. not only are they cheaper than the continentals, the rolling resistance is almost nothing, the tires needed very little balancing, and they're ultra quiet! I wouldnt get any other tire. What tires are you guys running?

The Falkens don't last long and I found that they wear really strangely.

I run Nokians in the winter and Yoko's or Toyo Proxes in the summer.

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE 960 AS Pole Positions on my 19s and they are absolutly amazing in wet and dry and I run Bridgestone Blizzaks in the winter with no problems at all either.

The Falkens he got are really new and are very nice tires. They have a good tread rating and if you have uneven wear, thats on you for not getting the car aligned

I just got the Falkens likethree weeks ago and i like what i've felt so far. My buddy works at discount tire and recommended them as the best middle of the road tire if you don't want to spend the big bucks on yokahama or pirrelli.

I've been running Nitto Nt-555's and they've been great for me. No problems with wear or vibration at all.

I had a set on 4 different cars including my cobra with 1000 kms on it (track car).... they are cheap so I keep buying them for summer tires for our company cars. They do seem to wear a lot more quickly than other tires (but they are 1/2 the price).

The best I could get is about 20,000 miles out of a set on my A4. I have 30,000 on my proxes 4's already.

I like my general exclaim UHP. They are M+S and priced very well. After 20k+ miles, the dealership gave me the green check boxes on tire condition at my 70k service. They're holding up well and a good tire if you don't swap out summer/winter tires. Btw, I'm not an aggressive driver.
